Dear Sir or Madam: 

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the "Reform Act") 

And 14 CFR Part 11 of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), Skyvision Aerial Solutions, LLC 

hereby applies for an exemption from the listed Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) to allow 

commercial operation of Designated UAS, provided such operations are conducted within and 

under the conditions outlined herein or as may be established by the FAA as required by Section 

333. 

As a Commercial Pilot with 14 years of experience, I realize the importance and the nature of

public sensitivity regarding drones. Moreover, I understand the safety parameters that are 

necessary for operating aircraft in the NAS. Having situational awareness of the surrounding 

population, proximity to airports, aviation record keeping, and properly trained crew personnel 

are paramount in contributing to a safe and responsible airspace.

Safety and Benefit to Public Interest. The approval of this application presents no national 

security issues. Regarding the level of safety surrounding the proposed operations and the public 

benefit; reduction in environmental impacts, including but not limited to reduced emissions and 

noise, substituting operating large manned aircraft with large amounts of combustible fuel over 

populated areas, the grant of the requested exemption is in the public interest. Accordingly, I 

graciously request that the FAA grant the requested exemption. 

Commercial operation of an UAS, as described herein, which are equipped with camera(s) and 

sensors, would provide professional services in the following areas:
1. Real Estate Photography.

2. Land Surveying and Mapping.

3. Industrial Infrastructure.

4. Insurance Estimates.

5. Surveillance.

6. Construction Site Mapping / Surveillance.

7. Volunteer Fire / Law Enforcement / Emergency Response.

As described fully below, the requested exemption would permit the operation of designated 

UAS as set forth in this document under controlled conditions in the NAS that would be: limited,

controlled, predetermined, and safe. Approval of this exemption would increase public 

awareness of UAS operations and enhance safety to aid in fulfilling the Secretary of 

Transportation's (the FAA Administrator's) responsibilities to ".... establish requirements for the 

safe operation of such aircraft systems in the national airspace system." Section 333(c) Reform 

Act.
